(AGENPARL) – THE HAGUE (THE NETHERLANDS), mar 11 maggio 2021 BENGALURU (Reuters) – Walmart Inc-owned Indian e-commerce firm Flipkart is in early talks with investors to raise at least $1 billion, the Economic Times reported https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/tech/funding/flipkart-plans-a-big-billion-day-with-new-investors/articleshow/.cms on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. Flipkart’s fund raise plans come at a time when the company is considering an initial public offering (IPO), while it battles players including Amazon.com’s local unit and billionaire Mukesh Ambani-owned Reliance Retails’ JioMart amid a pandemic that has seen demand for online services skyrocket. Reuters first reported in September that Bengaluru-based Flipkart was preparing for an IPO overseas as early as 2021, which could value the firm at as much as $50 billion.]
